This walking taco casserole is the perfect easy dinner that packs so much Tex-Mex flavor! Crispy fritos, taco-seasoned ground beef and creamy black beans get baked with a layer of sharp cheddar. On top, a crisp and refreshing zesty ranch salad adds notes of freshness and brightness. Your family will love it and so will you!
If you'd like to make this dish vegetarian, try swapping out the beef for two packets of extra firm tofu. You'll want to press the tofu before sauteeing it to remove any excess moisture.
You could also just use two cans of vegetarian refried beans if you'd like!
Although I haven't worked with it often, you could also try using seasoned jackfruit which would mimic the texture of pulled pork.
